SILVER  DOLLARS. 

273  1794  The  stars  to  the  left  are  as  usual  somewhat  weak  ; 

the  head,  the  date,  and  Liberty  ai'e  bold  and  distinct 
as  are  the  stars  in  front ;  the  hair  on  the  temple  is 
slightly  rubbed,  the  eagle  and  wreath  all  prominent 
and  bold,  and  the  inscription  at  the  left,  owing  to  the 
insufficient  thickness  of  the  planchet  on  which  the 
dollar  was  struck,  is  like  the  stars,  weak,  though  per- 
fectly distinct.  A  very  fine  dollar;  indeed  one  of  the

599  1801   Bruised  and  poor,  but  extremely  rare. 

600  1802  This  coiu,  not  yet  received,  I  am  unable  to  des- 

cribe with  accuracy,  but  can  say  from  memory  that  it 
is  in  fair  condition  though  by  no  means  fine ;  its 
genuineness  is  guaranteed,  and  concerning  its  rarity 
nothing  further  need  be  said.     See  plate.

668  1794  Maris  32.     Shielded  hair  ;  very  good.     See  plate. 

669  1795  Thick  planchet,  lettered  edge,  barely  touched  by 

circulation.  Would  be  one  of  the  finest  cents  known 
of  this  variety  but  it  has  a  little  cut  back  of  the  head, 
which  was  in  the  planchet  before  striking  ;  polished 
surface,  and  a  most  desirable  coin.     See  plate. 

670  1795  Thick,  lettered  edge.     Reverse   has   '^  One  Cent  " 

high  in  the  wreath  ;  very  good,  almost  fine. 

671  1795  Thin    planchet;     uncirculated,   with    fine    smooth 

surface.  Portions  of  this  cent  retain  the  mint  copper 
red,  showing  it  to  be  uncirculated  ;  very  rare  in  this 
condition.     See  plate. 

672  1796  Liberty  cap;  very  good,  much  finer  than  usually 

found  ;  rare. 

673  1796  Liberty  cap ;  fair,  but  not  equal  to  the  last,  rare.

674  1797   Very  fine,  uncirculated,  shows  some  of  the  originul

675  1797  Different  die  ;  poor. 

676  1798  Fine,  barely  circulated. 

677  1798  Not  so  fine;  still  good,  being  but  little  circulated. 

678  1799  The  break  in  the  die  or  so-called  mint-mark  shows 

very  plainly,  and  the  genuineness  is  guaranteed  ; 
good  and  very  rare. 

679  1799  Concerning  this  piece  Mr.  Twining  writes  me,  "I 

bought  the  1799  of  Haseltine  ten  years  ago,  the  price 
$15."     See  plate. 

680  1801   Very  fine,  barely  circ,  handsome  color  and  surface. 

See  plate. 

681  1801  Reverse  has -Q^Q.     Scarce  variety  ;  very  fair.

683  1802  Fine,  about  equal  to  the  last. 

684  1803  Very  good,  about  fine,  but  little  circulated. 

685  1804  Perfect  die  ;   very  fine  indeed,  handsome  color  and 

surface,  and  onl}^  a  trifle  circulated.  For  this  cent 
Mr.  John  W.  Bowers  paid  Messrs.  Chapman  Brothers 
'f75,  and  thought  it  a  bargain.  Very  rare  in  any  con- 
dition, and  so  fine  a  one  is  extremely  rare.    See  plate. 

686  1804  Perfect  die,  date  distinct.     Guaranteed.    See  plate. 
686a  1804  Bright    and    uncirculated.      Restruck  before  the

6866  1804  Duplicate  of  the  last,  equally  good  and  scarce. 

687  1805  Fine,  color  and  surface  good,  scarce. 
687a  1806  In  fair,  ordinary  condition ;  scarce. 

688  1807  Die   altered  from  1806;    very  rare  and  very  fine, 

doubtless  the  finest  of  this  variety  known.  1806  is 
so  rare  that  but  one  perfectly  uncirculated  specimen 
can  be  found  in  any  collection,  and  I  do  not  believe 
that  of  the  1807-6  variety  another  approaching  this 
in  condition  can  be  found.  Mr.  Twining  writes:  "I 
received  it  of  an  old  lady  in  Boonville,  N.  Y.  She 
kept  it  as  a  memento  of  the  year  of  her  birth."  A 
dealer  of  very  conservative  views  values  this  cent  at 
$10.  I  regard  it  as  by  far  the  rarest  and  most  valu- 
able cent  in  the  sale  ;  it  is  in  beautiful  condition,  fine 
light  chocolate  color,  and  of  smooth  handsome  surface. 
See  plate.

1055  1652  Pine-tree  Shilling.     Large,  well-spread  planchet, 

but  a  little  clipped.     Fine  impression  ;   a  good  coin.

and  a  fair  example  ;   rare. 

1057  1652  Pine-tree  Sixpence.     Very  good  and  not  clipped, 

though  the  reverse  did  not  take  the  full  impression 
of  the  die.     Fine,  scarce. 

1058  1654  Copper  coin.     Struck  for  circulation  in  Spain  at 

the  period.  Used  in  America  as  well.  The  counter- 
marks—  VI,  VII,  XII,  etc  —  have  caused  much 
speculation,  on  acoount  of  their  resemblance  to  the 
early  N.  E.  shillings  and  sixpences.  Of  rude  coinage, 
but  a  fine  specimen,  and  rare. 

1059  Another  of  the   same    class,  but   differently   counter- 

marked,  and  of  double  thickness. 

1060  Others  of  similar  origin,  yet  different.     2  pes.

For  particulars  concerning  this  coin,  reference  is 
made  to  an  interesting  note  under  No.  460  in  Mr. 
Frossard's  sale  of  Oct.  16,  1883.  For  further  infor- 
mation see  Prof.  Anthon  in  American  Journal  of 
Numismatics,  and  R.  W.  McLachlan,  Montreal,  in 
the  same  work.  At  the  date  named  above,  Mr. 
Frossard  offered  a  specimen  of  this  coin  for  sale,  in 
fine  condition,  at  a  limit  of  'ii<325.00.  The  present 
example,  of  undoubted  genuineness,  was  in  a  well 
known  New  York  collection  for  many  years  before 
Prof.  Anthon  wrote  his  account  of  the  coin.     It  is 


AMERICAN   COLONIAL    AND    STATE   COINS.  45 

in  very  good  or  fine  condition  ;  nnblemished  except 
by  slight,  ordinary  \a  ear,  and  every  portion  distinct 
and  bold.  It  is,  without  doubt,  the  first  one  known 
in  this  country,  and  it  is  also  quite  certain  that  no 
more  than  two  others  are  known  here,  and  two  in 
France, —  five  in  all.  It  is  now  offered  for  positive 
sale  without  the  least  reserve.    See  plate  for  reverse.

lina and  the  Lords  Proprietors,  1694."  A  large 
elephant  walking  left,  no  inscription  ;  copper,  thin 
planchet  of  unquestioned  genuineness.  The  inscrip- 
tion on  the  reverse  slightly  indistinct  in  the  centre, 
the  part  opposite  on  the  body  of  the  elephant,  the 
planchet  not  being  thick  enough  to  give  the  full 
relief  of  both  dies.  Uncommonly  good  and  an  ex- 
cessivel}^  rare  coin.  It  has  scarcely  been  offered  in 
sales  since  the  discovery  of  the  celebrated  Bache 
collection,  which  contained  no  less  than  three  speci- 
mens.    See  plate.

11  ;  Aveight  27  grains  or  nearly.  The  edge  of  the 
coin  ornamented  with  leaf-work.  This  coin  was 
offered  for  sale  in  the  Addenda  to  my  sale  No.  73 
and  was  limited  to  a  starting  bid  of  S560.00,  for  want 
of  Avhich  it  was  withdrawn.  It  is  now  offered,  with- 
out limit,  for  positive  sale.  I  have  declined  an  ac- 
tual cash  offer  of  $300.00  from  a  dealer,  and  a  condi- 
tional offer  of  $400.00  from  a  collector.  A  much 
fuller  account  of  the  piece  may  be  found  in  the 
Addenda  referred  to,  a  copy  of  which  will  be  sent 
free  on  application.  The  obverse  of  the  piece  is 
illustrated  in  my  ('atalogue  No.  73,  and  the  reverse 
is  illustrated  in  this  Catalogue,  copies  of  which,  with 
one  or  more  plates,  will  be  forwarded  on  receipt  of

About  thirty  years  ago  a  number  of  gentlemen  of  New  York,  inter- 
ested in  Numismatics,  discovered  at  Waterbury,  Conn.,  a  large  number 
of  original  dies  of  Store  Cards  and  mercantile  tokens.  From  these  they 
obtained  a  number  of  impressions,  struck  in  various  metals,  with  which 
they  supplied  their  own  cabinets,  and  those  of  their  friends.  Mr.  Levick 
tlien  purchased  the  entire  remainder,  witli  the  object  of  destroying,  and 
thus  rendering  them  scarce.  In  the  purchase  of  the  Levick  Collection,  the 
lot  came  into  my  hands.     Very  few  of  them  have  since  been  sold,  and  the

entire  stock  is  oftered  now,  and  the  buyer  will  have  a  monoijoly.  They 
are  all  in  beautiful  proof  or  bright  uncirculated  condition,  and  the  dies 
have  all  since  been  destroyed  by  fire,  at  the  burning  of  the  die-room  at 
the  Scoville  Co/s  Factory.  As  no  more  exist,  and  none  can  be  struck 
in  the  future,  they  must  become  very  rare,  as  the  number  is  inconsider- 
able. Nearly  all  are  of  old  red-cent  size,  and  of  the  "Hard-times "  period.
